Message: <blockquote data-quote="ParanoydStyle" data-source="post: 7871282" data-attributes="member: 6984451">Gotcha. Sorry to keep bringing up Shadowrun, but this is actually very similar to the Crash 2.0 which was an apocalyptic event at the end of Shadowrun's 3rd Edition which besides being a big epic spectacle and event was basically there to explain why the Matrix in 4E would work nothing like the Matrix in 3E. Utilitarian though it was, it was actually pretty awesome and the book (System Failure, I think?) is one of my favorite RPG sourcebooks ever. I was one of the writers on Stormfront (no relation to the neonazi hatespeech repository, but I couldn't convince Jason to change the name) which did more or less the same thing between 4E and 5E, only less drastic. I got to really eff up the city of Denver, though!Anyway my ideas are already congealing just from what I've learned here and from the wiki. It seems like way off in Eastern Faerun there's a tiny kingdom ruled by dragons, Murghôm that appears to be THE center of draconic culture and society. Then way northwest of there all the way out on the edge of the northern Sword Coast there's a city, Waterdeep, that's either the center of Faerun's culture and society period, or at least one of three, has a mythal cast over it that basically enforces the rule of NO DRAGONS ALLOWED. I'm thinking that, in the absence of a nastier, more obvious, more existential threat, the former (Dragonland) might have some issues with being indefinitely barred from the greatest city <s>in the world</s> on Abor-Toril on the sole basis of their species.Dragons + Civil Rights Activism = ???And I'm away. But please keep telling me about Faerun, it's fascinating and I'm learning a lot!</blockquote>
